I too am beyond tired.

While some may wish that 0 and Holder do something proactive, I would prefer that they just keep out of it. Anything positive they said or did would be a lie, and would just give them proof to tote out against any charges of divisive actions.

I want them to just go away. Stay in HI, Mr. President, and golf. Please.

The topic is complicated. Well, most things concerning the Left are. It’s difficult for most factions to get an objective viewpoint, since they always think external criticism is an attack and any internal criticism of the police by the police is because somebody is a mole and a snitch. Which the police will terminate, in their own fashion, sooner or later.

It’s relatively easy to kill someone by applying pressure at various points on the body. Police officers following their restraint procedures are often incompetent if not personally brutal. They have little idea of how easy the human body is to break, since they usually are fearing and imagining the 400 pound black a crack head on meth that can’t be stopped with 5 bullets scenario.

Enough pressure on various parts on the torso will collapse the lungs. It will also destroy internal organs, forcing enough pressure to collapse the lungs themselves, thus a person can speak by emitting air but will not have the strength to pull enough air back into their collapsed internal cavities. That kind of force and oxygen deprivation may also internal bleeding, ruptures, or enough systematic shock that the heart and other vital organ or neurological systems begin failing.

People who are incompetent at killing people, are also incompetent at saving them. People who know how to save people’s lives, also know the right dosage to poison and terminate them. Competence is a general trait, not always a specific skill set.

while I have to partially agree with Ymarsakar. I think many, but not most police do act like thugs. But far many more do not. But then again, I’ve met many good and bad doctors, lawyers, and engineers. Do we paint them all with the same brush?

To clarify my position from the Left’s and other scummy enemies of humanity (who I don’t consider as humans any more so the tiredness Sgt Mom feels about being accused as X, doesn’t affect me. Dogs can accuse me as much as they want, I’ll still put them up on the grill after skewering them, and make them into hot dogs). The Left notably uses dehumanization of the police in order to make it easier for their black thugs to rape, kill, and terrorize the white population (who can be intimidated into providing money for the extortionists). Sharpton and Jackson, if you check their income, gets most of it from these extortions. It’s a mafia ring, even.

If I am dehumanizing the police, it’s generally because they are making themselves into targets that obey authority. When they obey authority, they are either on my side or against me. If that authority is evil, the LEOs are evil, irregardless of whether the LEOs like to be evil or not. Free will is not yours to worry about if you Obey Orders unthinkingly.

I’m not going to ask every terrorist, black thug, and rapist who their family members are, whether they are a lawyer, a good citizen, or anything. If they become a threat or something I need to eliminate, I will deal with them. Much like a person unthinkingly steps on an ant. Do they feel guilty for such because the ant was causing nobody any harm intentionally? It is best to avoid causing violence when it is not needed. The world is not ideal though.

The only choice that matters is whether LEOs are on my side, the human side, or whether they choose to side with evil by selling their soul for their pension benefits. That choice is up to them. The Left will execute and smash their child’s head in, even if they refuse to believe me on this matter, the Left will convince them. I can promise you that.

Every time a former LEO or current one protects their tribe by speaking out for them, they make it worse. Because they aren’t fixing the problem. Neither are blacks, when they crow after Hussein Obola, fixing the problem. So long as their problem exists, their lives are as chaff in the wind.

If this problem and issue could be fixed by the regular men and women of the police forces… they would have done so a long time ago. That they have not, means that they have either failed or haven’t even tried. Thus they are guilty, in one way or another. They aren’t guilty because they are personally evil or pigs, they are guilty because their organization is evil or are controlled by pigs like Blasio.

Do we paint them all with the same brush?

Shrugs. While it isn’t important to stereotype people, that is not to say preparations are always a waste. Humans cannot pull the trigger without hate, love, some kind of strong motivation or reason. We are not in the military, at least not most of us. We are not given ROEs or rules of engagement, and legal documents, telling us who we can or cannot engage. That is left up entirely to the civilians to decide, and the courts to prosecute afterwards.

However, in order to pull the trigger, people need to resolve their conflicts and rationalizations before hand. Optimally, before they get engaged by the enemy or engage the enemy. What makes a person a combatant that can be terminated? What makes a target a target? What allows a target to be make the human choice of avoiding conflict and violence? How long can we allow the people to choose between their free will and their authorities?

For LEOs, their engagement is set by their Authorities. And I don’t really think their evil authorities are my ally or will protect me. If I become a target in their eyes… what needs to be done, will be done. Being aware of the consequences doesn’t mean kissing up to the evil authorities, btw.

Thank you, Mr. Loathsome.

A very intersting article has been posted at the Havoc Journal,

“Law Enforcement Officers cannot pick and choose which laws they intend to enforce. But here are three facts. Trayvon Martin closed the distance with George Zimmerman and began to beat him. Michael Brown assaulted Officer Darren Wilson and tried to take his gun. Eric Gardner refused to obey the instructions by police and actively resisted their attempts to take him into custody….The picture of Trayvon Martin was of a young 12 year old, not the larger scowling teenager making gangster signs. Who chose that picture? They were all available and they could have picked any from his Facebook account or from his parents. Why did they use the picture of the innocent looking young teen? They chose the picture that was going to inflame opinion more, period. It went to court and the result was the ‘victim’ was the perpetrator.

In the Michael Brown case, the media continually pointed to the fact that he was black, that he was unarmed, and that he was a teenager. They flat out refused to recognize that he was considered an adult of age 18 and insisted on showing the most precocious picture they could find. Again, the intent was to inflame the situation. They want to focus on “Hands up” but forget to acknowledge that as the lie that it was. The case went before the Grand Jury and found that the officer was not at fault.

In Eric Gardner’s case, the illicit cigarette sales were the focus and his mediation of the neighborhood and the choke hold. “I Can’t Breathe” became the slogan but completely ignored the fact that by saying it, you can do it. I have been choked out. You cannot speak when you are being choked. All you do is wheeze. As for how he died, he had a heart attack in the ambulance on the way to the hospital. He was not choked to death. And again the case went before the Grand Jury and found that the officer was not at fault.

But the media did not focus on that. If they had focused solely on those three facts, there would not be an issue. Each case was tried in court and in every case the jury found that the ‘victim’ as announced by the media, was the perpetrator. The problem is that people believe that a conspiracy is at work but they are picking the wrong target.

While I have to partially agree with Ymarsakar. I think many, but not most police do act like thugs. But far many more do not. But then again, I’ve met many good and bad doctors, lawyers, and engineers. Do we paint them all with the same brush?

Personally, I would rather have them there than not have them there. They are by far and away the lesser of two evils presently in our society. In totalitarian societies, that statement does not apply, obviously.

Like them or not, they are a necessary evil and will continue to be required until mankind’s nature is perfected. pack a lunch for that one because Godot will have long since come and gone.

The whole article is here if you care to read it.

I have to agree with the thrust of the article and say further that Obama and the left would be far less effective without a media that is ideologically simpatico and utterly irresponsible and whose management would steal their mother’s wooden leg if they could make a buck at it.

Exactly – and let me say that this realization is perfectly and personally horrifying to me. My mother about washed out my mouth with soap, the first time I came home from school and repeated the n-word, which I had heard from another student. My parents were – or at least my mother is – militantly tolerant. Also a Nixon Republican, which ought to give the lie to the meme of raaaaacist Repubs changing places with the Dems in about mid-century.

I served with perfectly splendid, hard-working and competent citizens from an African-American background, some of which were even close friends enough that we could discuss racial relations frankly, and agree that the urban thug culture was poisonous. Hell, some of them had even enlisted to get away from it, and were honest enough to admit that it was a bad thing. I also live next door to – and across the street from a couple of AA families to this day. We have watched the sons of the next-door family grow to man’s estate, and better and more hardworking neighbors we could hardly have. Of course, the operative thing is they have come from married families, and in the case of the next-door family, very churchgoing. If the sons ever deviated into the thug life, their grannie would take over the beating, once their mother and father were tired.

But here it is – I am tired beyond words of being accused of being a racist, just for being white and middle-class myself. Tired of being slimed as a racist for being a small-government constitutionalist Tea Partier, tired of seeing the most egregious black racists elevated into high positions and well-paying media, academic and political sinecures. Tired of being accused of committing invisible racial micro-aggressions. Tired beyond words of biting my tongue, when it comes to pointing out crime rates vis-é -vis black on black offenses, and black on white offenses; it’s to the point where if there has been some horrific rape-robbery-home-invasion-murder reported in the news headlines, my daughter and I have a bet on as to the race of the suspect/perpetrator. Lately, there’s been only one instance where the perp was something other than the usual ghetto DINDO. (DINDO – as is ‘I/my boy DINDO nuffin!’)

Tired? You have no idea.
